“Prepare for music that’s humongously heavy and emotionally scarring, brutally primitive and mentally mutilating. There’s a pulse in the music, like a heart that chooses when to beat, along with machines operating as torture devices and vocals that are just fucking searing in their raw, unhinged wretchedness. Before the end, the experience becomes more violent, the mechanized entities more frantic in their ruinous work.” – No Clean Singing
